Caveman WOD

“WHAT is this Caveman WOD you speak of?”

WOD stands for ‘workout of the day’ and of course first termed by CrossFit. Our Caveman WOD is described as always different, always motivating, and what we call Competitive Exercise, you’re either performing a set amount of reps or trying to complete as many rounds as possible (AMRAP) within a set time.

Who are you competing against? Well, you either compete against your yesterdays SELF or the person next to you, that’s completely your decision. Whatever you decide, you work at your own pace, not someone else’s, whatever you do, safety and technique comes first!

Coming First

With competitive exercise comes the drive to come first, however, for your own safety and progression, you should focus on aiming for the number one spot with correct form and technique at all times, and more importantly with the appropriate rest in between exercises or rounds. You can compete against the best in the class, but you can also compete with yourself, if you did 31 minutes for the WOD last time, aim for 29 minutes this time, or go for the same time with a slight increase in weight. If you’re not sure, talk to the trainers.

But… isn’t it just CrossFit?

No, the main difference between CrossFit and Caveman WOD is that we will focus more on unilateral training, working with kettlebells rather than Olympic bars (especially with beginners), and an enormous amount of stress will be placed on performing exercises correctly and safely, taking a break or slowing down when fatiguing, progression and regression where required. Olympic lifts with barbells are generally not performed. There are no kipping pull-ups, it’s strict or negative pull-ups, no push-ups on the knees, it’s strict or negative push-ups.

But… why not just call it CrossFit?

See above and see below video.

Are you slagging CrossFit?Ermmm, no! First of all, I’m a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, I love CrossFit, but … I don’t like some of the things in CrossFit, I could make a list, and when it all comes down to it, in the end what happens, or what doesn’t happen, all depends on the instructor, the actual affiliate, the athlete itself making potentially wrong choices etc. etc. too much to go into, this is Caveman WOD, like it or hate it, it’s here, it’s for everyone, and it’s different.
